Over time the accumulation of these monuments in particular locations created extensive and complex sacred landscapes where the natural world and the built environment complemented each other. Major centres such as Abydos, Thebes, Memphis and Heliopolis each developed their own distinctive character based on their natural landscape, their particular gods, and the specific buildings constructed there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaking the Egypt of Ramesses II as his focal point, Steven Snape explores some of the most important monumental landscapes of ancient Egypt. This was a period when some of the most spectacular and sophisticated royal monuments were created, while more ancient monuments were being restored and reinterpreted. It was also a period when private individuals were able to interact with royal temples, tombs and colossal statues both past and present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSteven Snape\u003c\/b\u003e is Honorary Professor of Egyptian Archaeology in the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology at the University of Liverpool, UK.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781847251459\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51223560355980,"sku":"9781847251459","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_5d513204-8458-44f2-9c87-219d5945e42a.jpg?v=1783077019","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781847251459","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
